I used to often hesitate to ask dumb questions, to publicly try skills I was likely to be bad at, or to visibly/loudly put forward my best guesses in areas where others knew more than me.

Eh. Pretty much stereotypical for nerdy people. It's an obsession with being right.

I would imagine plenty of users here would share the same sentiment.
